The people who live in the Nordic countries are some of the happiest in the world! With that in mind, this is a fantastic place to study. Nordic countries are famous for their contemporary design.

Spend time in Stockholm a city that mix a sophisticated urban vibe with unique architecture and beautiful scenery.
Winter sports are popular, but there's plenty to do in the summer, too! Sweden has lakes, forests and beaches to enjoy. And do not be nervous about getting around: you speak English so communicating with locals is no problem. Almost everyone here is bilingual! Also, in Sweden, students are independent, encouraged to ask questions, and to take a lot of responsibility.
